ABOUT THE COVER

Welcome to the 2014-15 edition of San Ramon Valley Life,
which has all the information you need to live, work and play in
Alamo, Blackhawk, Danville, Diablo and San Ramon. It includes
facts about the towns, cities and schools as well as locations
of local amenities, information about arts and entertainment
venues and programs and much, much more. It’s everything
that only the area’s locally owned and operated news source can
provide.
In addition to being in the same state Assembly and Senate
districts, San Ramon Valley communities share a school district,
fire district, community college district and county services.
Because of this synergy, we decided to make one place
for readers to go to get all their San Ramon Valley news —
DanvilleSanRamon.com. We also combined the Readers Choice
contests this year.
It is an exciting time for the San Ramon Valley.
In San Ramon, a new elementary school, Bella Vista, is being
planned in the Dougherty Valley and the city broke ground on
the new San Ramon City Hall building — part of the City Center
project, which has been in the works for decades and will give
San Ramon its long-awaited “downtown.” When completed,
San Ramon City Center will have two “piazzas” and include retail
space, restaurants, and an outdoor theater for concerts and civic
events.
Downtown Danville is also being transformed. Redevelopment
of the Danville Hotel site includes the construction of retail,
residential and restaurant space. While some mourned the
demolition of the long-standing but deteriorating buildings at
the site, the two historically significant structures on the site,
the Danville Hotel and McCauley House, will be preserved and
restored as a part of the project.
The Danville Hotel is not the only topic of controversy in the
Valley. The Faria Preserve residential development in San Ramon,
a proposed cemetery in Tassajara Valley, ongoing litigation
stemming from Danville’s approval of a housing project on
Magee Ranch — and of course the continuous issue of traffic —
will make for interesting discussions this year and next.
But perhaps the highlight in the coming weeks will be the
national, state and local elections affecting the San Ramon Valley.
Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin) is being challenged by
Republican Hugh Bussell of Livermore in the 15th Congressional
District that includes San Ramon. The Valley’s State Senator,
Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord), is facing retired Immigration Law
Judge Tue Phan (R-Danville) in a runoff to represent the 11th
Congressional District, which includes Danville.
Pleasanton attorney Catharine Baker, a Republican, squares off
in the Nov. 4 election against Dublin Mayor Tim Sbranti for the
16th State Assembly District seat. Danville Town Council and San
Ramon Valley school board seats are also up for grabs.
Whether you’re new to our Valley or have lived here for years,
we welcome you to San Ramon Valley Life and the communities
we serve, and we urge you to vote on Nov. 4.

OUTLOOK SAN RAMON VALLEY
Prominent projects, parcel tax, drought among key topics heading into 2015
By Jeremy Walsh
The San Ramon Valley appears
ready for another year of significant change and lively debate in
2015, with prominent public and
private construction projects,
ongoing concerns about the
water supply and school parcel
tax renewal at the forefront.
2014 opened with a bang in
downtown Danville, with the
demolition of deteriorating
structures at the Danville Hotel
property in January.
Private developer Castle Companies plans to create the town’s
newest downtown destination by
replacing rundown “Wild West”
buildings near the historic Danville Hotel with modern restaurant
space, storefronts and secondfloor residential units.
The hotel itself, along with the
McCauley House, will be preserved and renovated as part of
the project. Construction is well
underway, and the developer eyes
a summer 2015 completion date.
Down the road, neighboring
San Ramon celebrated a city
milestone in September with the
ceremonial groundbreaking of the
new City Hall project.
Anticipated to open in 2015,
the new two-story building will
include large council chambers,
public meeting rooms, offices and
a large lobby in Central Park.
The project is a public-private
partnership with Sunset Development, which also plans to build
the long-awaited City Center
adjacent to the new City Hall.
Updated conceptual designs
for the City Center were unveiled
in June, with the complex set to
consist of retail, dining, entertainment, residential, hotel and office
space components.
Still in the planning stages, developers hope to break ground on
the retail portion by early 2015 and
open at the end of 2016. Sunset
has not yet announced a construction time-line for the residential
side, known as “Phase 2.”
Many San Ramon and Danville residents also noticed a big
change between their communities in summer 2014 with the
opening of the Interstate 680
auxiliary lanes between Sycamore
Valley and Crow Canyon roads.
The highway was widened as
part of the project, which also
included new sound and retaining
walls. Landscaping and touch-up
work is expected to wrap up during 2015.
Officials hope the additions on
each side of the freeway will limit
congestion, ease merging and
help alleviate the San Ramon Valley’s I-680 traffic headache.
Riling residents in another area
is a cemetery proposal in the

Tassajara Valley, east of the San
Ramon city limits in unincorporated Contra Costa County.
Creekside Memorial Cemetery,
proposed to sit on 58.7 acres at
7000 Camino Tassajara, would
include four outdoor mausoleums, one indoor mausoleum, an
administrative office and chapel
building, storage building, corporation yard and space for more
than 100,000 burial plots.
Some 450-plus people protested
the cemetery in August, expressing
concerns about negative impacts
on wildlife habitats, air quality, traffic, viewsheds and water.
The Faria Preserve housing community in San Ramon is another
development controversy likely to
carry into 2015.
The San Ramon City Council
voted 4-1 in late September to approve the 740-home project in the
northwest part of the city. The final
decision came down after four
well-attended council meetings
during the summer and early fall.
The development still awaits
other regulatory agency approval
and needs to avoid potential litigation, which some residents hinted
at during council meetings.
Danville town officials were
dealt a courtroom blow in July
when a county judge ruled the
town acted improperly during its
2013 approval of a proposed 69JEREMY WALSH home development on the Magee
The San Ramon City Council celebrates the new city hall groundbreaking in September. Ranch property at the corner of
Diablo and McCauley roads.
The town council subsequently
voted to appeal the judge’s unfavorable decisions, which found the
town failed to address bicycle-safety impacts and improperly rezoned
agricultural land at the project site
without first seeking a general
plan amendment to change the
agricultural land-use designation.
The court ruling was mixed for
each side, as the plaintiff — advocacy group SOS-Danville — had
a majority of its environmental
challenges thrown out. The town’s
appeal will likely extend into 2015.
Another ongoing issue on many
residents’ minds is the drought.
The East Bay Municipal Utility
District, which serves Danville and
much of San Ramon, has asked
customers for voluntary 10%
water conservation to date, while
the Dublin San Ramon Services
District, which serves the Dougherty Valley, has said its customers
must use 25% less water overall.
As 2014 winds down, San
Ramon Valley residents will likely
hear more debate about extending a $144 parcel tax to benefit
local public schools.
The voter-approved, seven-year
tax generates about $6.8 million
annually and is set to sunset in
June 2016.
The San Ramon Valley school
board is debating whether to ask
voters to renew the tax, perhaps
as early as a May 2015 ballot. Q

BELLA VISTA IN DOUGHERTY VALLEY
New elementary school on track for 2016 opening
By Jeremy Walsh
T
he still-expanding Dougherty
Valley community in eastern
San Ramon is on its way to receiving a new daytime home for some
of its younger residents.
Bella Vista Elementary School
is slated to open for the 2016-17
school year on a 7.4-acre site in a
yet-to-be-developed portion of
southwestern Dougherty Valley. It
will become the fifth elementary
school in the valley and the San
Ramon Valley school district’s 36th
campus overall.
The estimated $31.7 million
campus, to be funded through
the Measure D school facilities
bond, is designed to include twostory classroom buildings, library,
multipurpose room, administrative building, child care facility,
playgrounds, public ballfields and
state-of-the art technology.
District officials hope the added
school will help alleviate current
and projected overcrowding issues
at all Dougherty Valley elementary
schools.
With site work beginning in
2014, the new campus found itself
at the center of two of the top
school district debates of the year:
what to name the school and what
students would attend it.
The district received more than
400 different names suggestions
through an online public survey in
the spring.
Citizen ideas ranged from locally
inspired names (like Dougherty
Valley, Alamo Creek or Thomas
Burnett) to historical references
(such as President Barack Obama,
Nelson Mandela or Albert Einstein)
to more spirited options (including
Hogwarts Elementary or Chuck

Norris Institute of Learning).
Ultimately, the school board
supported the naming committee’s recommendation in late-June:
Bella Vista, which means “beautiful
view” in Spanish and Italian.
“All you have to do is go stand
on that site; that is the first thing
(you notice). It explodes into
your mind, the view,” school
board member Mark Jewett said,
referring to the site’s picturesque
panorama, which includes Mount
Diablo and local hillsides.
The monicker also honors the
Latin roots of that area of San
Ramon, officials said.
Garnering almost as much
citizen input as the name debate
was the school board’s discussion
of redrawing elementary school

attendance boundaries in the
Dougherty Valley.
Board members heard from
dozens of parents at a handful
of public meetings and considered nearly a dozen different
attendance-area options before
unanimously endorsing the new
boundary lines on June 10.
“This (boundary) plan provides
for consistency and it provides for
balance,” school board member
Ken Mintz said before the approval
vote.
Students destined for Bella
Vista include those who will live in
homes planned, but yet to be built,
in the southwestern part of the
valley.
The boundaries also include
several existing neighborhoods,
currently in the Live Oak Elementary attendance zone. The affected area is bounded generally
by Bollinger Canyon Road to the
east, Watermill Road to the west,
Harcourt Way to the south and
Joree Lane to the north.
Most of the roughly 100 students
living in those neighborhoods
attend Live Oak, although some go
to Quail Run Elementary because
of previous diversions due to overcrowding. Any of those children
currently enrolled at a school could
stay there through fifth grade.
Bella Vista is also set to house
all Dougherty Valley students in
transitional kindergarten and the
Academic Talent Program (ATP)
for qualifying fourth- and fifthgraders. It could also host special
education and diverted students
as well as those in draw programs
such as STEM (science, technology,
engineering and math).
When developing the boundaries, district officials and the school
board considered issues like traffic
congestion, balancing enrollment
at all Dougherty Valley elementary
schools and keeping neighborhoods at the same home-schools.
The approved boundary lines
received less community pushback
than initial options presented in
early spring. Still, several residents
remained opposed at the June 10
meeting, expressing concerns such
as their communities having to
change zones, increased traffic on
Bollinger Canyon Road and safety
of students walking or bicycling to
the new school.
District officials said they might
look at staggering school start
times in the Dougherty Valley to
address traffic congestion concerns. They estimate that the new
campus will have 485 students
enrolled in its first year and grow
to 697 students by 2019-20. Q
